I ordered a sensor from Banner to measure a chain conveyor speed. This sensor has a U shape gate and each time that the beam from transmitter to receiver breaks ,it sends a signal to my PLC's input so I can count them.
The purpose of doing this is to show any inconsistency in conveyor speed.I can measure the pulses in a 10sec. frame time and compare them with the next 10sec.,but the question is how to convert them to ft/m ( the conveyor speed).
Any ideas?
